Don’t look at the Soldier as just another series in LeBron James’ Nike signature line; the King spent majority of last season playing in the Zoom Soldier 7. Now, in the midst of summer hoops and with a new season looming, Nike presents the Soldier 8.

Designed with protection, responsiveness and containment in mind, the Soldier 8 features a flexible forefoot mesh upper with dynamic Flywire technology. A collar strap provides extra lockdown, while a quick release zipper helps ease the foot’s entrance. Faceted Phylon works with Zoom cushioning in the forefoot for low-to-the-ground responsiveness. Natural motion is enhanced with a decoupled forefoot and heel outsole with a peer flex traction pattern.

This weekend, the Soldier 8 arrives in an all-new ‘Magnet Grey’ colorway. Varying tones takes are of the shoe’s upper, with hits of volt providing pop on the branding, Flywire, inner lining and outsole.
